Automatic Frequency Control Unit
Automatic Frequency Control unit provides the direct control of the oscillator for frequency offset and Doppler
shift compensation. The Block diagram is depicted in Figure 30. It utilizes a 13-bit D/A converter to achieve
high-resolution control. The AFC is always inputted to VCTCXO to generate 26Mhz. The Aanlog voltage is
about 1.5V and AFC_DAC is about 4200 decimally.

Baseband Front End
Baseband Front End is a modem interface between Tx/Rx mixed-signal modules and digital signal processor.
We can divide this block into two parts. The first is the uplink(transmitting) path, which converts bit-stream
from DSP into digital in-phase and quadrature signals for TX mixed-signal module. The second part is the
downlink(receiving) path, which receives digital in-phase and quadrature signals from RX mixed-signal module,
performs FIR filtering and then sends results to DSP. The uplink path is mainly composed of GMSK Modulator
and uplink parts of Baseband Serial Ports, and the downlink path is mainly composed of RX digital FIR filter
